Hi, I'm Jenny, a life coach for INFJs.
Today, I'm discussing how INFJs can find their dream job. Here's some of my key points:
Learning Through Doing: INFJs need to experience jobs firsthand to determine if they fit, as we struggle to predict our preferences without trying them out.
Unseen Job Factors: Job satisfaction often hinges on company culture, work-life balance, leadership style, and how mistakes are handled—elements not listed in job descriptions.
Sensitivity to Environment: INFJs absorb the emotions of those around them and are sensitive to their surroundings. We need control over our environment to stay focused and energized.
Focus and Productivity: We work best in bursts of an hour, needing breaks to maintain productivity. Our intuitive skills and pattern recognition are often undervalued in traditional job settings.
Challenges in Mental Health Jobs: Despite being natural psychologists, many mental health roles don't support our need for self-care, leading to burnout and hypocrisy in these settings.
Perceptions of Money: INFJs often see money as negative and may undervalue their worth, leading to lower-paying jobs. We struggle to demand fair compensation and may overgive in various aspects of our lives.
Codependency with Jobs: We tend to prioritize our jobs over our own needs, staying in bad positions too long out of loyalty. Quitting sooner and exploring more opportunities is crucial for finding a fulfilling role.
Strategies for Success:
Don't feel guilty about job-hopping.
Consider working part-time to explore different roles.
Seek accommodations if you have a mental health diagnosis.
Use AI tools to enhance your job search and application process.
Start a side business and leverage tax benefits.
Creating Your Own Path: The best job for INFJs is often self-created, tailored to our strengths and energy levels. Avoid burnout by balancing left-brained and right-brained approaches to business.
I'm launching a course on spiritual solopreneurship, designed to help INFJs create businesses that align with their energy and nervous systems. For more details, sign up for my newsletter at jennydobson.com/newsletter. Thanks for listening, and I'll be back soon!
Stay weird. ✌️
